Here’s something that I was told when I was engaged that changed the way I thought about wedding planning: your wedding is just a moment in time. Those eight hours in a white dress are but a blip on your life’s radar and the decisions you make with regards to your wedding are only a [Continue Reading…]

This is a repost from the archives. Original posting date: August 14, 2015. I’m reposting this post because the decision explained here, however “weird” or unpopular, has singlehandedly shaped my husband and my lifestyle, marriage, and routine more than anything else in our life. Me not working in the traditional sense allows us freedom and simplicity that we [Continue Reading…]

On this day last July, I loaded up my entire life into a moving truck, turned in my apartment keys, and drove away in my grey Honda Civic, tears rolling uncontrollably down my ruddy cheeks for the first 50 miles. They say “you don’t know what you got ’till it’s gone,” and that may be a [Continue Reading…]

Contrary to societal belief, engagement is not just about finding the perfect wedding dress, booking a venue, and tasting cake.

Today, I’ll share details about each piece of our reception. For the order of events [Continue Reading…]

I was more excited for our wedding ceremony than any other part of our wedding day. I just couldn’t wait to actually get married! We decided to write our own ceremony from start to finish, borrowing inspiration from here and there as we did. It took me weeks to get it just right, but it [Continue Reading…]

Our wedding day flew by just as I suspected it would. Thankfully, we had a highly detailed timeline for our day so that we could squeeze as much out of our big day as we could! Today, I’m going to outline our wedding day timeline! 7:00am–Wake Up I wake up at 7am every day of [Continue Reading…]

Without a doubt, I spent more time researching our photographer and videographer than any other aspect of our wedding day. It was hugely important to me to have gorgeous photos and a beautifully-crafted video to remember our day for a couple of reasons, 1) because I really care about good photography and videography, and 2) [Continue Reading…]
